الصفحة 210 - The innocent prattle of his children takes out the sting of a man's poverty. But the children of the very poor do not prattle.

Poor people, said a sensible old nurse to us once, do not bring up their children ; they drag them up.
الصفحة 200 - The schoolboy whips his taxed top ; the beardless youth manages his taxed horse, with a taxed bridle, on a taxed road ; and the dying Englishman, pouring his medicine, which has paid...
